Scholarship Season

February 25, 2015

Scholarship Season

2:30 pm on the banks of the lower playing field at Gulf Islands Secondary School
Lots to learn looking at this photo I think.
(this student is clearly focused on her scholarship applications, my presence was accepted—which makes my task easier)

Fernwood Sky

February 23, 2015

Fernwood Sky

An interesting morning sky, with a very brief moment of delightful colour.
And only one other person enjoying the sight (with a camera, on the dock).
I wonder if that type of cloud over Galiano has a name…

Gulf Islands Triptych

February 22, 2015

Gulf Islands Triptych

Three images which show part of the view from a south Salt Spring ‘cottage’ were commissioned last fall and will soon hang in the client’s home.

The images will be printed in high resolution black and white, likely 24 x 16 inches each, and mounted on aluminum (as imagined above) for a crisp aesthetic as the dominant feature of a main living area.

A fourth image (also part of the view), taken just after sunset with Swartz Bay and Sidney in the foreground and extending to Mount Rainier, was also provided.

(here is the center image, quickly converted to black and white)

On a somewhat related note:
Congratulations to a pair of daily viewers from the Seattle area who have recently hung a beautifully framed, limited edition print of ‘Sunrise Swans’ in their lovely home. Thanks for supporting SaltSpringPhotos.com!

Dangerous Cargo

February 17, 2015

Dangerous Cargo

On the BC Ferry pier at Crofton, heading back to Salt Spring Island

The big green Shamrock Fuels truck is coming off the ferry, having taken an earlier dangerous cargo ride over to Salt Spring.
The camera’s shutter speed was not fast enough to stop the motion of  truck in the foreground, hence a blur that hints at the feeling you get as the pier shakes a bit as tons of truck parts noisily accelerate by a couple of feet away.

Meanwhile, looking back through the side mirror of my wee truck, we see someone paying at the toll booth. And there’s Rick of noofoto fame bringing his own kind of dangerous cargo back to Salt Spring (in his school bus) from a skating trip on Vancouver Island.
